In December, the preliminary round of the Geography Bee was held at Pella Christian Grade School. Students in grades four through eight participated in this round, with the student answering the most questions correctly in each class moving on to the final round. Advancing students include 4th graders Lawson Bruxvoort and Mary Kate Bandstra, 5th graders Samuel Brouwer and Amanda Harrill, 6th graders David Kacmarynski and Cole Vande Voort, 7th graders Ryan Starkey and Anna Van Wolde and 8th graders Carson Dugger and Nate Haveman. The winners will compete against each other to determine the top geographer at Pella Christian Grade School.
